Sommario/riassunto |
|
""A gem""--The Diamond Angle; ""outstanding...thorough, interesting""--One More Inning; ""each team is described in detail--ARBA; ""read and enjoy""--Public Library Quarterly. There were so many great teams in the last century, it would be hard to compile a list of the 25 best--much less rank those clubs--but that's what the authors have done! This is an endlessly fascinating tome, sure to prompt spirited discussions around the water cooler or above the dugout. Let the arguments (and the fun!) begin! |
